At idle (800rpm) - 25psi
At 4000 rpm - 66psi
At 6500 rpm - 70psi
At redline - 72psi (far right of the red area)
I changed my oil to 5W50 which might make a difference in PSI. Oil level has always been green and I haven’t needed to add any oil.
I looked at a video I took a few hundred miles ago and PSI levels are pretty much consistent +/- 3psi. The discrepancy has to do with throttle position it seems. Going 0-redline but keeping an eye at 6500 rpm for example reads 62psi, no throttle letting it coast down at 6500 reads 68psi, and light throttle holding 6500 reads 70psi. Moral of the story, yes it is normal for PSI to read this high and even the manual says PSI varies based on oil temp and throttle response

I had posted this when I got my car, but in my .2 gt3 oil psi is at 50 at 2000 rpm and reaches 60 at 2500rpm. It rises slowly after that. This is when the engine is at operating temps above 190 F.
I think this goes along the fact of that the oiling takes less effort in the new redesigned engine.
PS: forgot tom mention that the analog dial is relatively inaccurate as it has been mention in the posts above. The reading I mentioned are with the digital scale.

Totally normal. Just like someone else said, Porsche just doesn't adjust the analog gauge for the GT cars. Must be too expensive lol...
Same thing for the fuel gauge if you have an extended tank. Doesn't read properly.
